AWIPS II User Readiness Conference Agenda Overview – June 2014

1. AWIPS II Status and Plans Ronla Henry Proving Ground / User Readiness Conference June 4, 2014

2. Agenda • AWIPS II Migration Status and Plan • AWIPS II Satellite Product Readiness • SBN expansion status and plans • GOES-R products • S-NPP products • Data Delivery for on-demand satellite products

3. AWIPS II Migration Status and Plan • AWIPS II Deployed at all National Centers, River Forecast Centers and Regional HQ Systems • WFO Deployment Strategy • Groups of 8-10 WFOs installed with at least 30 day testing period required for AWIPS II activation • Next group cannot install until previous group successfully completes its activation test • WFO Activation Status • Groups 1 and 2 activation completed • Group 3 activation in progress, target completion – June 15th 12 Z. • WFO Activation Completion Target – 4th QT FY15 • National Centers AWIPS (NAIWPS) Migration • Pre-OTE – In progress • Center by Center FOTE strategy • Q4FY14 – Q2FY16

4. Satellite Broadcast Network (SBN)Expansion Status and Plans • SBN being upgraded from 30Mbps to 60+Mbps • Project scheduled to complete approx. October 2014, with new product additions to begin by Jan 2015 • NCF and MGS software, hardware and network upgrades underway; corresponding SBN CP software upgrades to be in place by Aug 2014 • Adding new data channels for AWIPS Data Delivery, GOES-R imagery, and other new streams • Leveraging Raytheon/AWIPS contract for implementation • Further details in Ground Readiness brief (next)

5. GOES-R Products • Sectorized Cloud and Moisture Imagery (SCMI) delivered via low-latency direct SBN • 26 GOES-R Products derived from ABI and GLM delivered via NESDIS PDA system • SBN for “routine” products • AWIPS Data Delivery for scenario specific needs • GOES-R Rebroadcast (GRB) products available at AR, PR, AWC, NHC, SPC, SWPC, College Park National Centers • AWIPS II Development andTesting • Two tests completed in December 2013 and May 2014 • Simulated “real-time” data flow to test functionality and performance • Focused on ingest, decode, display, store and purge of SCMI • Follow-on testing in October 2014 and April 2015 • AWIPS II software development for new GOES-R products (ongoing into 2015) • Exercise TOWR-G mission thread scenarios • GOES-R tests will utilize SBN’s new GOES channel • AWIPS II Operational Testing – Flowing GOES-R Products from new NESDIS Ground System Across SBN and via Data Delivery into AWIPS • June – August 2015: Support for GOES-R Ground Segment integration and test • September 2015 => Data Operations Exercise: Several week continuous flow of data from the GOES-R Ground Segment to AWIPS II (TBD locations) via SBN and Data Delivery

6. S-NPP Products in AWIPS II • Recent Product Additions to AWIPS II S-NPP VIIRS Imagery S-NPP NUCAPS Sounding • Near Constant Contrast Imagery – To be added in Late 2014 release

7. Data Delivery Overview • What is AWIPS II Data Delivery? • Data Delivery is an AWIPS II Extended Project (a pre-planned major enhancement to AWIPS II infrastructure) • Data Delivery allows AWIPS-II users to access data not routinely delivered via SBN or direct broadcast using “smart” push/pull technologies • Enables AWIPS to handle increased data volumes associated with major agency initiatives, e.g., GOES-R, Higher resolution models, etc. • Key Features • Data discovery of datasets residing on Data Provider systems, e.g., NOMADS, MADIS, PDA • Data Access using subscriptions or on an ad-hoc basis • Users can temporally, spatially, and/or parametrically subset datasets – • Sub-setting is executed on the data provider system • Reduces bandwidth • Reduces data processing at receiving AWIPS sites • Smart bandwidth management • Data retrieval latency estimated based on bandwidth and data size • Subscription priority is configurable • SBN Subscription Channel – Used for shared subscriptions, multi-site subscriptions that are similar in nature

8. Data Delivery High Level Architecture

9. Data Delivery Status and Plans • Data Delivery Initial Operating Capability (IOC) – Fall 2013 • Provides data discovery and access to NOMADS (model data) • Summer 2014 Capabilities • Access to MADIS • Implementation of SBN subscription channel for shared subscriptions • Satellite Product Access Plan • Data Delivery will access the NESDIS Product Distribution and Access (PDA) Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) interface for data discovery and access services • AWIPS II development in progress • Initial testing of Data Delivery and PDA OGC interface scheduled for Fall 2014 • Additional End-to-End tests planned for CY15 • PDA Operational Readiness Review (ORR) for OGC Services – 4Q FY2015 • On-going coordination with IDP as IDP services are planned and developed • Candidate Satellite Product Categories for Data Delivery • GOES-R – Derived Products • SNPP/JPSS Derived Products, non-KPP imagery • GPM, SMAP, NESDIS PDA Products not distributed via SBN, Sentinel, MeTOP imagery, OceanSAT
